"clunky, ugly, and heavy" I think you just described how most people feel about touring bikes in general!
But seriously - what I particularly like about these is that they're easy-on / easy-off without mounting hardware. So I'm a lot more likely to NOT leave them on the bike all the time, but can still outfit for a tour or a run on the grocery store within a few minutes.
